Designed to help students (and parents) transition smoothly to the new school year, Kinder Kids Camp is only open to students entering the Convent & Stuart Hall kindergarten program. Students are placed in single-sex classrooms for the duration of the program.

At the beginning of each session, teachers introduce a variety of classroom routines and lively activities to provide campers with an academic and social foundation for kindergarten. Campers use educational manipulatives, games and other resources to develop fun and collaborative connections with their peers and teachers. Kinder Kids Camp offers valuable developmental experience in preparation for the coming school year.

All campers are invited to join the afternoon Young at Heart Recreation Camp, where students enjoy a variety of grade-appropriate rotations.

Gr. 1–4 Morning Academics

Mornings: 9 a.m.–12 p.m.
Grade Level: Entering Grades 1–4

We aim to prepare each camper for a smooth transition to the new school year with an engaging, theme-based curriculum in coed, grade-specific classrooms.

Each session of Morning Academics begins with a basic review of concepts from the previous grade level. Teachers differentiate instruction and reinforce common themes, standards and expectations from the prior school year to help solidify existing skill sets and knowledge bases. As camp progresses, the focus shifts to reflect a curriculum that campers can expect in the coming year, with an emphasis on math and language arts. A fully integrated Digital Literacy & Design program is available for campers in the Morning Academics program, with full access to the Unkefer Spark Studio makerspace, where students will explore, design, engineer and tinker.

The program provides a comfortable setting for making new friends and building upon existing relationships. All campers are informally assessed, and feedback is shared with families throughout the session. Campers leave the program having gained valuable experience and confidence that prepares them for a smooth transition into the next grade level.

Each block offers students the opportunity to explore new academic subjects and activities and deepen their understanding of subjects they’ve engaged with previously. A fully integrated Digital Literacy & Design program is available for campers in the Morning Academics program, with full access to the Unkefer Spark Studio makerspace, where students will explore, design, engineer and tinker.

All students in this program are invited to join the Athletic Department’s afternoon Sports Camp, where students will enjoy a variety of athletic activities. The camp will focus on individual skill development and fun and competitive team games.
